A charming piece of vintage circa 1980s 9ct gold sentimentality. The locket's gently domed front alive with the era's signature mixed textures. Delicate, foliate hand engraving sweeps across the upper half, elegantly divided by a crisp diagonal line that frames the lower portion in mirror-polished gold—a clever play of texture and shine much favoured in jewellery of the period, echoing Victorian sentiment, but with a fresh, modern hand.
Measuring 23mm across by 24mm base to bale (or 30mm base to suspension ring top).
